Today is...

It was a cold and cloudy day when I luckily found the freshly steamed spider crab at the local fish monger. Also I could get my favourite fresh vegetables from the local store.

Fennel, Broccoli and Mooli.

What a lucky day!They absolutely made my day.

I stood in the kitchen as always and immedietly started the preparation for the dinner.Removed the top shell & legs and picked out all crab meat.Pickled the fennel & mooli into the Yuzu (Japanese citrus fruit) Vinaigrette.

I chose to make them up into the healthy salad.

Spider Crab & Fennel Salad with Ponzu (Japanese citrus dressing).

Great contrast, rich & thick flavour of spider crab and fresh & crunchy root vegetables. My children who saw the whole crab for the first time enjoyed this salad and made their plates empty in a blink.
